Just in from Holy City which was about the Jairus story.

I loved the big that Jane Bentley did on Jesus did not just come to speak but to touch, to take on flesh (she did it much more poetically than that).

I also had a conversation with two women being "the woman" and me being Jairus.  I spoke, with a preacher's perspective, on the pain of thinking your faith and your whole vocation is on the line if this thing does not work; and the irritation that Jairus feels when he is delayed because of "the woman"; what if she is healed and his daughter is not, how does he cope with that scenario.

The women who were being "the woman" screamed at me that I needed to get Jesus to my house, there was enough of Jesus go around.  The only people who know what Jesus can do here, as he approaches Jairus' house, are Jesus and the woman.  Only she has the faith to know what he can for this girl.
